I’m in the same boat I have been told it’s cancer but waiting for a PET scan and I’ve been told go to a meeting on the 24th to discuss a treatment plan. I just wish I knew what I was dealing with all I’ve been told is that surgery is only an option.
I've had my follow up appointment and they told.me it's in my womb muscle slightly but my lymph nodes in my pelvis are 'prominent' so they are going to take them aswell. I have another appointment tomorrow to meet the surgeon who may or may not be doing my surgery and they will explain exactly what they are going to do. It's frustrating as you just want to know what they are going to do so you can process. I hope you get the answers your looking for as it helps to process what you have to deal with, being in the dark so to speak is never good especially if your an over thinker like I am.
Hi I got a bit of good news mine is in cervix and a small amount in vagina I have to have chemo and radiothepary no operation at this stage don’t no how to feel really bit scared of treatment but happy it’s not spread I hope you get all the answers you need I have to meet docs in a couple of weeks who will explain treatment
That is good news I still don't know how to feel about it all if I'm honest. Mine has spread through the wall or myometrium so I've got tto have surgery to remove everything and the top part of my cervix and they don't know about the lymph nodes until the go in and investigate. So waiting on pre op and surgery date then wait 4-6 weeks for histology before they decide whether I need further treatment. I'm glad you got some good news though, my friend is having chemo for the first time today I think it sounds scarier than it is but that's easy to say when your not facing it. Xx
so sorry your still up in the air I think I have a month or so before treatment as got to see doc for treatment plan but reading a lot on chemo it has come a long way one woman worked all the way though it she didn’t get sickness just got tied more easily hopefully your op will get all the *** out of you in one go let me no how your friend gets on xx
Well the main thing is I know my next step is surgery so I'm focusing on that for the time being and as everyone's advice is to take it step by step that's what I'm trying to do. There are different types of chemo so I guess some are Moore brutal than others, hopefully you will be OK. I asked my friend to let me know what chemo is like so I will keep you posted. Xx
Hi sorry it's been a while. I had surgery last week and it went OK, not sure I like having a catheter and vag pack lol but it's done and I'm at home recovering. Had lots of family coming and going but it's all quiet now so thought I'd pop on and say hello. How are u doing? Xx
So glad to hear your doing ok I had camera up bum yesterday because they saw something in my colon and wouldn’t start my treatment until they knew what it was no cancer thank god so radiothepary and chemo should start in a couple of weeks chemo on a Mon radio 5 days a week for 5 weeks then the internal treatment which I have to stay in hosp for so fingers crossed it will work I am struggling emotionally just keep crying not like me how you doing on that side of things xxp
